La Universidad de México, 1521-2001
La vida de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México no ha podido escapar al trajín dialéctico de la sociedad en la que se originó; se ha visto forzada a preservarse, transformarse, y a resistir los embates externos, al mismo tiempo incidiendo en la realidad social en la que está inserta.

Blood, Ink, and Culture

In this compilation of essays, Bartra thinks through these transformations by tracing the complex interplay between popular culture, nationalist ideology, civil society, and the state in contemporary Mexico. Written with verve over a period of twenty years, these essays—most translated into English here for the first time—suggest why Bartra has become one of Latin America’s leading public intellectuals. The essays cover a broad range of topics, from the canonical forms of Mexican culture to the meaning of postnati...
